TRAVEL BRIEFS<\/p>\n

John Crook\u00a0<\/p>\n

Celebrating Puccini<\/b><\/p>\n

Commencing Friday July 22nd and then on selected dates throughout July and August, a musical festival is scheduled in the town of Torre del Lago, home to Puccini.\u00a0 Throughout July and August his works will resonate through the village, featuring\u00a0 La Boheme, Turandot, and Madame Butterfly.\u00a0 For details of the festival go visit www.puccinifestival.it<\/a> or telephone the Italian Government Tourist Office on (02) 9262 1666.\u00a0 The festival will welcome in more than 40,000 spectators to the town’s open air theatre.\u00a0 If you can make it, do yourself a favour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ok, so Mary Poppins hits town<\/b><\/p>\n

Bowral in the New South Wales Southern Highlands, on Saturday May 7th.\u00a0 Not that much time to organise a trip into this beautiful region and also to join in the Welcome Home Mary Poppins, but for those who can make it,\u00a0 the locals (and Mary) extend a great welcome.\u00a0 The gathering of the clan, so to speak, will attempt a record breaking event,- namely creating a mosaic greater than that set by the 1,026 people in Serbia in 2009.\u00a0 If interested and to register your intent,\u00a0\u00a0 telephone (02) 4801 0622.\u00a0 The big day is to salute a former Bowral resident,- Helen Goff, the creator of Mary Poppins. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Uniquely Austrian<\/b><\/p>\n

The Austrian National Tourist Office has launched a new online and social media campaign, featuring 250 authentic activities, meals, landmarks and an assortment of secrets in which to assist travellers to better enjoy their Austrian experience.\u00a0 The campaign promotes\u00a0 a wealth of\u00a0 recommendations, from dining in Europe’s oldest restaurant, doing an apple Strudel baking course in the bakery at Schonbrunn, to uncrowded bicycle paths, – to name but a few.\u00a0 To obtain your copy of ‘Austria. Unique Like You’ simply email\u00a0 info@antosyd.org.au<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Include your postal address.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Going overseas?<\/b><\/p>\n

That’s when one discovers the suitcase is too small.\u00a0 Perhaps one should consider a national excess baggage service, boasting more than 15 years experience.\u00a0 Jetta Excess Baggage offers deals cheaper than airline excess baggage and offers luggage rates to more than 6500 destinations in 240 countries.\u00a0\u00a0 For more details telephone 1300 300 688.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ultimate Asia visit<\/b><\/p>\n
